NEMAHA ADVERTISER. W. W. SANDERS, Publisher NEMAHA, NEBRASKA Fow men. wofclfl caro to bo dono by as they try to do others. A innii mnkoH no particular progress by putting hlmsolf on tho back. VIrtuo may bo Its own reward, but it Is not Its own advertising agont Wonder if Mr. Carnngio really in tended to include tho "horolno" in his generous offer? A capitalist will respect you more It you try to borrow $5,000 than if you ask for only $n. Tho Japancso have invented an in extlngulshablo llro. They havo also been using a fairly accurate ono. Tho man who will point a gun at a friend and toll him that "It isn't load ed" shows every indication of being loaded himself. If tho averago girl doesn't play tho harp in tho next world any bettor than she plays tho piano in this thcro's go ing to bo trouble. We aro solemnly Informed that tho czar has a passion for bric-a-brac, .lust now ho appears to bo onxlouu to sccuro somo pieces of old China. A Salt Lako girl rccom-d $-1,000,000 tho other day when she became 18 years old. llor friends are now anx iously waiting for her to pick out her duke. Noodlo manufacturers havo formed a tniBt and boardlng-houso keepers will hereafter place only four noodles In each bowl of soup, but prunes will still bo served llvo times a week. According to a Now York physician, thirty-two per cent of tho criminals of this country are left-handed. It is easy to sue that when a man puts ills hand to criminal work It isn't right. Tho Japs aro reported to havo in vented a llro that will burn under water. If tho Japs want to get right next to tho hearts of the American people lot them now Invent a furnace tiro Unit will burn without coal. Pooplo who havo Investigated the JUbJect agrno in the belief that this country's army of grafters is more dangerous to the stability of the repub lic than 'the confederate army was In 1802. Tho thing must bo continuous If tho United States is to bo saved. Hx-Secretary Gage declares thoro Is no truth in tho assertion that every man who has over a million dollars got It dishonestly. Every man who has more than a million will agree with him, and tho ones who havo less than a million each can only guess anyway. Commenting on tho heraldic design of tho two-headed eagle, a London paper has explained that there Is no especial signification to such a double animal. It Is simply tho fusion of two llguros placed buck to back on tho same shield. Somo one suggests that tho American eagle needs two heads, because lie has to watch two oceans at once, and with continuous attention. Not at all. Any American knows that a true Yankee eagle can turn its head quickly enough to cover tho home plato, and still prevent any ono from stealing bases. "Tho small number of words actu ally necessary for ordinary purposes in our everyday life is surprising, and nothing Illustrates this bettor than the limited vocabulary of a Uttlo child." Dr. M. Harris said, "I havo a daugh ter, 0 years old. She is ablo to make all her wants known, to talk freely and easily. If an adult know just tho number of words In a foreign tongue that she knows In her own ho would bo ablo to got along nicely in a conversational way with people who spoko nothing but that language. What tho child's vocabulary comprises, how many words and of what classes I. recently mado It my business to as certain in a series of investigations extending ovor a considerable poiiod of time. I found that tho total num ber of words sho know and used was just 352, omitting proper names, and that 54 per cent of these woro nouns, 18 per cent verbs and 11 per cent ud joctlvos, tho romoindor being, mado up of conjunctions, propositions and pronouns." Women interested in practical edu cation arq planning tho establishment of a courso in "mothering" in tho Lon don technical schools. They bollovo that tho girls of tho prcsont day know too little about tho cares of babies, and thoy propose to provido tho girls with llfo-sizcd Imitation babies of rubber, in tho caro of which thoy will rocolve instruction for a year. Thoy will havo wicker cradles, and two comploto out fits of clothing, ono for tho early stages or ntc, wnou long ureases nro worn, and tho other for tho beginning of tho short-dross period. Tho pupils will bo required to learn to dress and un dress tho rubber dolls, and to learn how to food them and to put them to sleep, and to do all tho many neces sary things incident to tho caro of an infant. Tho children of tho poor, who tnko caro of their own baby brothers and sisters, know about all tho things that would bo taught in tho course, and know thorn better than tho school girls will loom them, bocauso thoy tend llvo babies. It Is curious how tho artificial lifo of largo cities com pels tho adoption of artificial methods for teaching tho young the slmplo facts which in a moro natural lifo" they learn from tho beginning. There is good news that thero is tt bo a reform In sleeping cars. Here after instead of panels of pressed carving and heavy draperies and pad ded plush scats and a general cheap plush photograph album appearance, thero is to bo plain or inlaid pani-Is, light curtains and as Uttlo upholster ing as possible. All this will tnako tho cars moro sanitary and moro com fortablo as well as cultivating a bettor taste. It is said that bad tasto has boon spread by tho decorations of tho Pullman cars. Pooplo' of no natural taste, Hoeing those, havo adopted thorn as a standard, and the result is that thousands of homes have boon mado ugly by tho copying of thoso abomina tions. Tho Pullman Company are to bo congratulated In taking ono stop from their bazar ornamentations to ward better tasto and higher civiliza tion. They could go another and a longer stop by not charging ?2 or $2.30 for a shelf In a car, when a very good hotel will furnish a wholo room and bettor accommodations for 50 cents or $1 for tho night. Also thoy might re form their porfectly devilish rule of charging $2 extra for air If tho upprr berth was not occupied. Thero oughtj to bo a law compelling them to do this much for tliolr potions. Now thoy rthut tho upper berth down almost like' a coflln lid, oven if tho upper berth is not occupied, and if the occupant of tho lower berth wants tho air of that' Inclosed place, ho must pay ?2 extra for It Tho public is a good deal llko a pack of wolves. When a wolf goo?! down tho pack, leaps upon him and tears him to pieces. Tuko a groat financier, for example. There is Sully. A fow months ago ho had friends In Wall street by tho hundreds. Mon of wealth and of power woro glad to sit with him in games of poker, to bo seen with him on tho streets, to bo known as Ids friends and conlldantcs and confederates. Sully's methods woro known Just as well thon as they aro now, yot every man was His friend. -Plmiien tula innlr il ln ti t evt tC lile tiinHt- ods to make fortunes for themselves. llo failed, and instantly ho is con demned; instantly, llko wolves, wo aro upon him; not one out of all tho thousands that mado money through him stands up for him. Ills methods, profited by before, aro now donounccd. Yes, tho public Is like a pack of wolves though It hardly seems Just to say It Without an apology to tho wolves. Thero Is no good reason to assume that tho financier who falls Is any more reprohenslblo than the ones that keejij their feet Thoro aro great swindlers without number to-day thriving and being toadied to, who just as richly de servo tho penitentiary as thoy would if thoy should fall. Pollure, which dooms wolf or man, is not in fact even an ln-i dlcatlon of wrong. Some of tho no blest mon and best enterprises havo failed. No longer ago than 11)00 tho big brokerago firm of Prlco, McCor- mlck & Co., went to smash with lia bilities amounting to $13,000,000. Prlco paid 82 cents on tho dollar and was discharged In bankruptcy from further legal obligations. Hut; ho voluntarily assumed moral obligation. It Is now stated that tho last dollar necessary to square tho big account has been paid. Of courso, Mr. Price's action has hod many precedents. Mark Twain sup plied ono of thorn. It Is a courso that indicates standards of commercial" hon or that cannot bo too much encour aged. Wo need moro of tho manhood that denounces dishonest and unjust methods In splto of their success and loss of tho wolfishness that tears to pieces tho man, good or bad, who falls. Korouu 1'utrloltHiu. Tho Koreans havo been called an un patriotic people. This may bo true if patriotism means a passionate deslro for tho wolfaro of one's country; but if a consuming deslro for tho preser vation of national Identity is patriot ism, thon tho Koreans aro Indeed pa triotlc. Tho ono thing thoy fear Is na tional extinction, whether such extinc tion would mean hotter government or not. They would rather llvo without oqultablo government, without snnlta tlon, without education, without any of tho Concomitants of civilization, If with theso thoy must also accept foreign domination.
